Troodon Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Love your seed collection from Sheppey and the nice Arucaria. Did you collect them? Some of my favorite finds in the Hell Creek include seeds. Like all the different forms they take. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 The Sheppey stuff is super, i still have one or two somewhere. I also love the North Dakota piece and the Araucaria. The poem in the wood is also very sweet. 1 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrangellian Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Indeed, impressive collection. How old is the plant plate from Whitby? I understand all the ammo's from there are Jurassic, but that piece looks Carboniferous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he gets back from holiday I get more details. Eric you maybe able to help me I purchased years ago a really nice small collection from around about the Victorian time. Going by the old labels that they have copper plate handwriting. Most of the collection has the labels but 3 plant specimens have not. They are very nice so I was happy to keep them regardless of their lost history. I will add them here and tag you . Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Rico Posted May 20, 2018 Author Share Posted May 20, 2018 Help please on some lost IDs. The next three are from an old Victorian collection but they came with no labels. @Tidgy's Dad @Wrangellian @Nimravis 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tidgy's Dad Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 The first one has become a bit squished during preservation, but I think it could be Pecopteris. The second one maybe Sphenopteris. And finally, i agree on Lepidodendron. That Neuropteris leaf is gorgeous. 2 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's fascinating to see the plants that were providing shelter, food and maybe homes to some of the dinosaurs and other animals living at Hell Creek during this time. 2 Life's Good!

Thank you I also don’t think it Mazon Creek Material and Ralph did not recognise it and he knows that site. My big problem is I am really dyslexic and struggle with reading papers. So any help is really appreciated. In the old collection is piece form Norwich crags in Norfolk. I am going to start there. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
